• Windows XP Home unable to start on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I use WinXP-H on a Satellite P30 (7 years).
  The screen died earlier, so I have been using an external monitor, but it's a problem for another time.

  A few days ago Windows has been updated. After all 4hours, it restarted itself - do not know if it has finished to day I was away from my office. Windows did not start, just hung on black screen boot WinXp.

  I turned off with the power button, left for a while and tried to restart. The first, a few times I could access the screen "Safe Mode, last known good Config etc" with F8, but he only got to Windows once, where it froze.

  At the start, only the F2 & F12 keys work now (for the blue BIOS screen and boot options). Tent to start HD causes not normal clicking noises then the "a disk error occurred. CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart message. " I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, but it seems that you wipe the files left on the hard disk, even if she managed to reinstall Windows.

  I had saved most of my files, but there are some that I had not succeeded in yet, so I would try to keep them. Forums, it seems that there are several possible solutions:

  1. start from the restore disc Toshiba to format the HD and maybe recover some of the files later with file recovery software.
  2. get an installation of WinXP-H disc, which seems to have a recovery program.
  3. remove the HD and connect it to another computer to delete my files. I'm not experienced by removing computers, but would give it a go, if it was the best option.

  Soon, any advice appreciated.

  In my opinion the easiest way to access the HARD disk is to connect it as external drive to the other PC.
  Removing the disc HARD is not so complicated that you can do it alone. If you need help with him let us know.

  What you need is the external IDE HDD case. You can buy it on ebay and it is cheap.

  In the end I have to say that I think that the HARD drive is faulty, maybe only some sectors do not work and thereby Windows gets stuck on some steps.

  I had this old Satellite it there a long time, in red. It is a very nice machine with its fabulous. :)

• Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

  Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

  I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

  When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

  The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

  I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

• Question about port COM on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I have the Satellite P30.

  I am trying to connect a GPS to the laptop.
  Write GPS on COM Port - COM1 - COM5

  The laptop had only USB and no COM port.
  Is it possible to attach a laptop COM port?

  Thank you

  Clive

  Do you mean the real com ports or virtual COM ports?

  However, I guess that this device can be connected to a USB port and then a virtual COM port will be created.
  In this case the drivers must be installed provided with this device.

• Satellite P30 - is there room for two physical hard disks?

  Is there someone who can tell if the satelit P30 has room for another hard drive?

  (I was able to open it, but hesitate!)

  LEF

  Hello

  Some laptops are supported a selectbay option to use for example a second HDD or a player.
  Unfortunately, the Satellite P30 doesn t support this. If you want to have more HARD disk space, you can buy a larger HARD drive or you are using an external USB HDD.

  Hello

  It looks like a hardware problem. You should check the RAM and HARD drive.

  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  http://Memtest86.com/
  Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
  It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

  Good luck!

  Good bye

• Satellite P30 - screen got vertical stripes

  Hello!

  Two problems:

  1. my Satellite P30 becomes a little old (bought in 2005), I know, but it works really well - a few hiccups of course.
  However, the lines of different colors appear vertically on the screen. It started with a single line of a few months ago and right there are now seven (10 at the most).
  The odd bit is that they appear, disappear, and reappear - some more often than others.
  I find it quite strange, and I wonder if the problem is the screen itself or if it is a motherboard / other hardware or a software problem.

  2. commissioning is slow lane. Suddenly, there is (before tha line problem described above) about four months something has changed in the startup routine.
  Before, when the "Welcome" message was shown, the screen became blavk for a second, and office appeared with the bar of tasks and shortcuts emediately. As usual.
  But some time back the time according to 'Welcome' to the desktop was OK, changed its jst a fww seconds to THREE minutes! I checked my pc for all known problems, but nothing! What is going on? The image of the desktop appears, and then three minutes before the taskbar and icons appear.

  Can someone help me?

  Best regards, Lars of the Norway

  (1) what are the lines? If these are lines of pixels, and the lines are spaced randomly, its most likely a LCD issue.

  (2) download and run BootVis. This small utility from Microsoft saves driver delays and other things during the startup.

• Question about the management of feeding on Satellite P30

  Hi all

  I ve just had to replace my hard drive on my Satellite P30 in which I lost everything!
  Before that, I had a program including the fan speed and cooling c.p.f. set.
  I thought that it was the Toshiba power saver but I tried to install this and it seems that it s not the same
  program that doesn't do these things.

  My laptop seems completely disable when I m a game,.
  in the past I've refused the c.p.f. a level that seems to do the trick which I just can't do it now.
  He was an icon that looks like a pile of Paolo if that helps.

  Help, please?

  If the laptop is full of dust, and I can imagine that P30 can be pretty dusty after so long, I don't think the air blower it will be clean again. I had P20 and after two years of use, there was so can dust inside and cooling grill has been blocked.

  The laptop does not turn off, but it was strong enough and cooling fan was running without permanently.

  Anyway, I don't know what program you used but for Toshiba P30 offered own tool to optimize the system and power consumption.

  Did you find the name of this program?

• What of the Satellite P30?

  Hello

  I'm the owner of a new Satellite P30-J002 (in Australia), which has a processor of 3.33 P4 with a Mobility Radeon 9700 128 MB and 17 "widescreen (1680 x 1050). I wanted to find out as much as possible about it, but could not find any discussion on the P30 in these forums. It is a very unpopular model? Or does go under another name of model?

  One thing that interests me is if there is an option to set the display of the Panel to scale by keeping the proportions locked when viewing in a lower resolution to 1680 x 1050 native? In my view, that this is que cela s' appelle called 'fixed proportions scaled' or something similar.

  Also, is there a PDF manual describing all the BIOS settings available?

  Thanks for any help,
  Damian.

  Hello

  Sorry, the forum is a European forum of Toshiba, there is mainly discussed European models, indeed there are the United States and Asian models, but not as much as the Europeans.

  I had looked through the internet and concluded that the European P30 - 1xx are also specificcated with a P4 3.06 up to 3.46 Ghz, Radeon Mobility 9700 is available with 64 and 128 MB and there are only 17 "wide screen with 1440 x 900.

  Perhaps is it better for you to search in

• Satellite P30 - error code 43 on the graphics card in Device Manager

  Windows Vista Professional Edition loaded as my new OS for the studies and course work. Now my display driver no longer works correctly.

  Device Manager displays the following message on the graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700: 'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) »

  Have search everywhere on the web for solutions but limited knowledge prevents me to get a positive result. There must be someone out there who can help...

  Hi BigPappaDom,

  In my opinion to get rid of this, you need to reinstall the display driver. I have checked the site of Toshiba Satellite P30 is no Vista driver available. This means that you must find yourself to get all the drivers. :(

  I searched a bit and you should try to install the Satellite P200D display driver. She also equipped graphics card ATI and this driver must be compatible with your other oldest:
